DRY MOUTH IS CAUSED WHEN SALIVA PRODUCTION IS LOW

Saliva washes away food and bacteria.

Without it, food particles begin rotting

in the mouth and can also lead to cavities.

The perfect recipe for bad breath!

Causes of dry mouth:

  • Dehydration

  • Mouth breathing

  • Certain medication

  • Anxiety

  • Drugs

  • Salivary gland disorders

  • Bulimia and anorexia

  • Pregnancy
